IMPORTANT UPDATE: PLEASE READ!

CHANGE TO SERVICES AVAILABLE:

Our Drop Box service was set up during the Covid-19 Pandemic as a means of maintaining repairs during a time when face-to-face working was not possible. We have maintained this for as long as possible as it proved to be a popular way of working.

HOWEVER: a significant increase in the demand for appointments has meant we have no choice but to discontinue these services.

Going forward, the drop box will ONLY be available at our main site at Castle Hill Hospital.

If you have any problems, please contact us via telephone 01482 468356, text 07799895033 or email huth.audiology@nhs.net

All patients, visitors and staff must continue to wear face masks and maintain social distancing when they come to Hull’s hospitals from next week.
We're asking people to wear face masks and keep two metres apart from others at all times in all hospital buildings.
Visiting restrictions will also remain in place, although they will be reviewed regularly by senior staff.
Here's what our Chief Executive Chris Long would like to say.
“We thank the public who have followed our restrictions since the start of the pandemic and we thank them again for their cooperation now.
“Our priority remains the safety of our staff and patients and the need to stop the spread of Covid-19 throughout our hospitals.
“The virus is still circulating in our community and we are once again seeing a rise in hospital admissions, reflecting increasing infection rates in Hull and surrounding towns and villages.
“Restrictions will remain in force for now although we’ll be keeping them under constant review to make changes as soon as it’s safe to do so.”

The advice from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust comes after England’s Chief Nurse Ruth May reminded the public that everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing rules.
She said: “Face coverings and social distancing measures will remain in place across healthcare settings so that the most vulnerable people can continue to safely attend hospital, their GP surgery, pharmacy or any other healthcare settings for advice, care and treatment.
“And it is important for the public to continue to play their part when visiting NHS and care settings to help protect our staff and patients, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to infections.
“As restrictions are lifted in many places on Monday, everyone has a part to play in helping to control Covid by getting vaccinated and acting responsibly.
“It is vital that in healthcare settings, we do all we can to reduce the risk of infection for those working in our services and those who need our care.”

Remember to service your Hearing Aid on time for the New Year!

The RNID Drop In Clinics will be closed 29th, 30th, 31st December.

The RNID volunteers still following strict guidance and are unable to see patients 1-2-1, but hearing aid repairs are usually a 10-15min wait. We are asking patients to follow the advice of the reception staff at the health centres to minimise patient numbers in the waiting area.

The Audiology Department will still be doing our best to cover drop off repairs at Castle Hill Hospital during this time.
